EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back to 1932, capturing a mesmerizing sight in Iraq's al-Qayyarah region. The image showcases the Gayara Area bituminous wells near Mosul, where an expansive and strikingly large pool of bitumen dominates the landscape. The composition is nothing short of awe-inspiring as it highlights the raw beauty and natural resources that have shaped this region for centuries. Bitumen, a viscous black substance often used in construction and road paving, takes center stage here, creating a surreal visual contrast against the surrounding arid terrain. The photographer skillfully captures the essence of this unique location by framing the vast expanse of bitumen within its natural surroundings. The texture and reflective qualities of the pool create an almost otherworldly effect under what appears to be a clear blue sky. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are reminded not only of Iraq's rich geological heritage but also its cultural significance throughout history. This photograph serves as a testament to mankind's ability to harness nature's resources while simultaneously highlighting our planet's extraordinary diversity. Through Liszt Collection's meticulous preservation efforts, we can now appreciate this remarkable moment frozen in time—a reminder that even seemingly ordinary landscapes can hold immense beauty when viewed through an artistic lens.
